W R Dunn was commissioned to undertake a detailed condition survey of the roof and external fabric at York Theatre Royal by the new owners, York Conservation Trust.

As a result of the findings from the survey, the team was instructed to act as conservation surveyors and contract administrators for the re-roofing and external fabric repair project that ran in parallel with the major internal redevelopment of the theatre.

York Theatre Royal reopened in May 2016, with the public heralding the refurbishment a huge success.
